Home EV charging with solar

The smartest way to charge in Oregon

Combining an EV with solar and battery storage lowers your charging costs, cuts commuting expenses, and shrinks your carbon footprint. Brands like Tesla, Kia, and Rivian all benefit from a solar-powered setup.

Level 2 charging

Charge up to 7x faster than a standard outlet, adding 10 to 30 miles of range per hour so your car is ready every morning.

Powered by your panels

Pair charging with solar and fuel your EV with electricity you generate, not buy, for the lowest possible cost per mile.

Charge from your battery

Add Enphase storage to bank excess solar and charge overnight, or keep your charger running during a grid outage.

Permitting handled

We manage panel evaluations, dedicated circuits, wiring, permits, and inspections so the install is fully turnkey.

Compare charger levels

Level 1 vs. Level 2 vs. Level 3 EV chargers

The three EV charger types differ mainly in charging speed and the electrical infrastructure they require.

Charger typeCharging speedBest for
Level 1 (120V)4–6 miles of range per hourOvernight charging, plug-in hybrids, smaller batteries
Level 2 (240V)10–30 miles of range per hourMost homes — full overnight charge for daily driving
Level 3 (DC Fast)80–100+ miles of range per hourHighways & commercial stations, not typical homes

Level 2 chargers typically cost $500–$750 for the unit, plus roughly $500–$1,000 for professional installation, depending on your electrical panel and wiring.

Solar + EV charging

Fuel your car with electricity you generate

Charging from the grid means paying utility rates that keep rising. Charging from your own panels drives your cost per mile close to zero and protects you from rate hikes for decades.

  • Lower your cost per mile to near zero with solar
  • Add Enphase storage to charge overnight or during outages
  • Manage charging and production live from a mobile app
  • Works with Tesla, Kia, Rivian, and all major EVs

How much solar do you need?

Solar system size by annual driving miles

A useful starting point: about 1 kW of solar for every 3,500 miles you drive each year. We refine this around your exact vehicle and household usage.

3,500 miles / year1 kW solar system
7,000 miles / year2 kW solar system
10,500 miles / year3 kW solar system
14,000 miles / year4 kW solar system
17,500 miles / year5 kW solar system
21,000 miles / year6 kW solar system

4–6 mi/hr

Level 1 (120V) — standard household outlet

10–30 mi/hr

Level 2 (240V) — the home charging sweet spot

80–100 mi/hr

Level 3 DC fast — highway & commercial stations
